  2. Sodium carbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_carbonate

    Sodium carbonate is soluble in water, and can occur naturally in arid regions, especially in mineral deposits (evaporites) formed when seasonal lakes evaporate. Deposits of the mineral natron have been mined from dry lake bottoms in Egypt since ancient times, when natron was used in the preparation of mummies and in the early manufacture of glass.

  3. Enthalpy of neutralization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_neutralization

    It is defined as the energy released with the formation of 1 mole of water. When a reaction is carried out under standard conditions at the temperature of 298 K (25 degrees Celsius) and 1 atm of pressure and one mole of water is formed, the heat released by the reaction is called the standard enthalpy of neutralization (ΔH n ⊖).

  4. Neutralization (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutralization_(chemistry)

    The same equation relating the concentrations of acid and base applies. The concept of neutralization is not limited to reactions in solution. For example, the reaction of limestone with acid such as sulfuric acid is also a neutralization reaction. [Ca,Mg]CO 3 (s) + H 2 SO 4 (aq) → (Ca 2+, Mg 2+)(aq) + SO 2− 4 (aq) + CO 2 (g) + H 2 O

  5. Saponification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponification

    The reaction of fatty acids with base is the other main method of saponification. In this case, the reaction involves neutralization of the carboxylic acid. The neutralization method is used to produce industrial soaps such as those derived from magnesium, the transition metals, and aluminium.

  6. Water-reactive substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-reactive_substances

    Water-reactive substances [1] are those that spontaneously undergo a chemical reaction with water, often noted as generating flammable gas. [2] Some are highly reducing in nature. [ 3 ] Notable examples include alkali metals , lithium through caesium , and alkaline earth metals , magnesium through barium .

  7. Acid salt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_salt

    A salt containing reactive cations undergo hydrolysis by which they react with water molecules, causing deprotonation of the conjugate acids. For example, the acid salt ammonium chloride is the main species formed upon the half neutralization of ammonia in aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride : [ 2 ]

  8. Water of crystallization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_of_crystallization

    In chemistry, water(s) of crystallization or water(s) ... Similarly, hydrated AlCl 3 is a poor Lewis acid and thus inactive as a catalyst for Friedel-Crafts reactions.

  9. Deprotonation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deprotonation

    An example is the H 2 O (water) molecule, which can gain a proton to form the hydronium ion, H 3 O +, or lose a proton, leaving the hydroxide ion, OH −. The relative ability of a molecule to give up a proton is measured by its pK a value. A low pK a value indicates that the compound is acidic and will easily give up its proton to a base.
